I actually do not use docker - I use podman. Do I need to configure docker-slim to work with podman? Some debug info:

@rubyfin This will be an interesting feature to explore. Right now docker-slim expects to have Docker installed on the same machine and it uses the Docker API to run containers and to create new images. The same will need to be done with Podman.

Gotcha, I thought so too. I think it will be a great feature to explore, as podman is a drop-in replacement for docker, and I think will be only gaining in popularity, especially in corporate environments.

I will be more than happy to help test out any new features on podman. :)
